• SQL Server Report Builder - parameters

  Is there a way to pass a parameter to the report builder We are not using impersonation to call the report builder so we don't know who the actual user is. We want to be able to pass the UserID to the report builder so we know who the actual user is supposed to be. Thanks. Sorry, currently the only parameters that can be passed to Report Builder are a server path, startup model, startup perspective or star ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Is the pseudo SQL syntax necessary?

  Current LINQ syntax is like this: var upperLowerWords =         from w in words         select new {Upper = w.ToUpper(), Lower = w.ToLower()}         where w.StartsWith("a"); But I think that this is unnecessary breeding of C# with SQL. I believe that combination of methods with lambda calculus would be better: string[] words = { "aPPLE", "B ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS 2003: devenv.exe /setup destroys custom user toolbars

  Hi there, as a part of the installation process for our add-in / package we run devenv.exe /setup command.

I'm using a DataBound DataGridView and performance for painting on it, etc. is good as long as it contains no data :) However, as soon as I load 10 columns in it with about 200 rows, performance really drops. Resizing the form that contains the grid becomes real slow even with column auto size off. Painting selectio ...Show All

Thanks Hi, It's window class is saying "TREEGREED" (you can check it with Spy++), so I guess it is not regular datagrid.
